Yeah, they are too busy categorizing 3rd party characters as Sony or Microsoft, without categorizing any as Nintendo. Heck, I've heard morons argue Mega Man couldn't be playable because he's too "Sony friendly." Like Sakurai gives a flying crap about that=???
He wants the biggest damn characters with the best damn movesets who bring in the most damn attention to his awesome damn smash games.
Besides, if Nintendo doesn't support their 3rd parties, there might not be the successor to the Wii U, which I will hence forth refer to as a Wii U And Mii.
